5 Reasons Why I Love/Hate Video Games - An Open Letter

5. The Gamers

Rsz Img 0013 First, the people that play. Gamers. Nerds. Geeks. Hardcore. Casual. Most of you, especially some of the guys I spoke to over the weekend, are absolutely awesome. People that respect the industry, respect the games and the others that play them. They love what they love and hate what they hate. Passionate people who have come together to talk and play with people who are just as passionate as they are. But...and it's a big one. You don't have to run to be the first to play Call Of Duty: Ghosts and push people to the ground as you do it €“ there is enough of the Call Of Duty experience to go around. Black Ops 2 sold about 10 million units didn't it? You don't need to cause a fuss when a wheelchair bound part of the community gets preferential treatment in a mostly stair based venue. You don't have to offer to take a polite conversation outside because they disagree with your next generation console of choice.
